Whether or not ghosts exist has been a debate in almost every culture since the beginning of time. Those who do believe in the paranormal base their proof on numerous occurrences of unexplained phenomena. Those that are convinced there is no such thing along with those that are skeptical try to dismiss such phenomena, as they say there is no real proof. To this day, the question still remains. Do ghosts exist?
Part of the appeal of paranormal television shows is the same as the appeal of any reality television show. People watch it because we like to think they are real, even though most of us know they are not there is so much editing and splicing, hardly any of it could have actually happened and we want to know what happens from one week to the next. Ghost Hunters for example is a reality format television show that gives us the impression that these ghost hunters are actually experiencing a paranormal activity as they are in haunted spaces. If anyone is looking for more scientific proof, rather than evidence, that ghosts actually exist, these shows provide that. We watch them to give proof to some of our experiences or fears.

In the first century A.D., he reported seeing the ghost of an old man with rattling chains and a long beard at his house in Athens (History Channel 2012). Just because there have been sightings reported since the first century A.D., doesn’t prove the existence of ghosts. Although personally compelling human experience is not proof, people either believe ghosts are real or they believe that ghosts are not real (Schick, Vaughn 125). Just as in ghost stories, there are two different sides to every story. Some people, because of personal experience, believe that ghosts exist; they claim they have seen a ghost or have had some kind of paranormal encounter with a ghost.
Page 62 of the article expresses that "most theists do not come to have faith in God as a premise for religious conviction, however come to religion as a consequence of different reasons and variables." However, he feels that to the extent confirmations serve theists, the three most usually acknowledged are the teleological, the
So what exactly makes people afraid? Is it the thought of a ghost? However what is it that makes a ghost fake? Is it the idea of a being that we cannot contact but can contact us? Is it how we cannot see but sense them.
It is a choice people must make for themselves to accept the reality or to accept the falsehood. The most important question is what convinces people of something that is not in confirmed as a fact in a science textbook? “The savage or barbarian has never learned to make that rigid distinction between imagination and reality, to enforce which is one of the main results of scientific education.” ( Wiebe, .1) Those that do believe in ghosts say that they are transparent materializations of a person who has died. Ghosts have been described as human in size and gossamer in their appearance. It is the essence of the soul that has decided to have an extended vacation on the planet.
The belief in a miracle can come from either experiencing them or religious reasons and explanations. People that believe in miracles usually believe in the religious evidence that we are provided with. Christians and Catholics will believe that miracles can happen because there are a lot of stories in the bible that seem to break the laws of nature and almost seem impossible to believe in, for example Jesus healed poorly people and he rose from the dead. In our society people believe that rising from the dead is humanly impossible and then jump into assumptions that this event must of had some sort of supernatural explanation; others will not believe it at all. Catholic people think that if you believe in God miracles seem more obvious to you and if you deny and test the existence of God then it will be harder to see the miracles happen.
The Terrorist Watch List Database Shannon Tolbert Dirk E. Stevens PH.D. Managing Information System BU331-8 July 29, 2012 This case talks about how the watch-list database has some flaws. There are many different databases that show people that are on the watch-list. The problems with the watch-list are that people are being put on that are not terrorist or have terrorist ties. People that are being put on names are misspelled.
The use of faith as a foundation of getting and recieving knowledge is a contreversial topic that has been debated. Faith in the bible is basically what the belief of God is about, having hope for a supernatural being that nobody can implant within you. Human beings always want to inquire more, but for some people inquiring more knowledge means to actually feel it and sense it in order to believe it. To some extent this is the opposite of faith, because faith however is a belief on something or someone without needing to get that “evidence”. There are more than seven billion people on our planet and each individual has a different belief, but why is it that faith as an individual is such a controversial topic?
